About
I am an eclectic collector, whose tastes range from 1950s era ballerinas & toddlers to the 1972 psychedelic phenomenon "Blythe." Little Miss Revlon, Barbie, Tammy, Kaysam, Sindy, petite Dawn fashion dolls & even the earlier Gretchen Wilson "Little Souls" creations are appealing to me, too.

Woolworth's Wouldn't Buy It...
2 of 2 found this helpful Most likely Clint Eastwood lifted the title for his over-rated, shamelessly mawkish film from the popular song, inspired by the late lamented five and dime Woolworth stores. Just for a bit more background the 1931 vintage tune was entitled "I Found A Million Dollar Baby (In A Five and Ten Cent Store)," with Lyrics: by Mort Dixon and Billy Rose, Music: by Harry Warren.
Well, with that said, as far as the movie is concerned, here goes. The story started out far too slowly, the tour and accompanying fight scenes were not developed sufficiently and therefore did not prove effective in their ultimate purpose. In other words the sporadic and disjointed "career" she had did not make me believe that this character truly achieved anything meaningful in her life.
Her family was comprised of rank amateur actors who gave caricature performances, as did the "retarded" delusional gym-fighter hopeful. Moreover, instead of eliciting sympathy the characters and situations left me completely cold. When I wish to feel heartbroken and inconsolable about the plight of a fellow human being I'll buy a box of Kleenex and watch that compassionate and utterly amazing study in abject misery "The Elephant Man."
I rate this movie below average rather than poor because Hilary Swank's performance was well crafted even if the script was not. After all is said and done I had no interest in viewing the special feature disc that came with the movie...

Suave and Cool...
1 of 1 found this helpful Craig Stevens and Lola Albright head a cast of colorful characters, in this early b&w TV series entry. Stevens performance, as a high-class private investigator, is the epitome of suave sophistication and reminiscent of some of Cary Grant's most memorable roles. Lola Albright is the gorgeous personification of mellow, cool jazz, as the nightclub singer girl friend. The show is entertaining, action packed and devoid of unnecessary dialog. A must see for purists with good taste.

Summary: Life is a Circus
3 of 3 found this helpful Alegría (2000, DVD)
This film is comprised of both dark shadows and bright joyous light. It is a celebration of love and life. The central plot is a classic love story between a melancholy street mime (played with grand pathos by the supremely gifted René Bazinet) and a glamorous circus singer, Julie Cox. The subplot deals with a Dickensian villain and unwanted children sold into slavery. The well honed performances by Cirque du Soleil entertainers add astonishing exhilaration to the proceedings and hauntingly arresting musical passages provide a spellbinding ambiance. The wondrous world of the circus is used as a metaphor for our lives on this harsh but beautiful plane of existence. I believe the producers of this lovely little motion picture would have benefited greatly by having named it "Life is a Circus" or given it some similar English title. It would then, most likely, have gotten far more attention and probably would have reached cult status.
